Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Plus Size Beyond Soft Short Sleeve V-Neck Tee

Really like the shirt, color and fit but I do not like the logo on the lower left. I thought at first a size tag had melted into the shirt because it was so hot when it was delivered. I would prefer the logo not be there.

A bought the muted purple.(Thank-you Beans for bringing back purple shades to your clothing-keep it up!) I love the ruching on the sleeves which adds interest. The fabric is comfortable and it drapes well, not boxy like other "relaxed" fits.The v-neck is not too deep. I also appreciate the length which comes to low hip on me. HOWEVER, the shiny, round logo looks like I left a sizing sticker on by accident.-this has been the actual thought of others who have seen the shirt.(my husband even said he expected it to say "inspected by number 54" when he went to "help" me remove it.) If it wasn't shiny maybe it would be less noticeable. I appreciate that at least it is near the bottom, but Beans, if people see something they like they will ask where you bought it. Logos can also limit an item to casual at home wear. I'd like to use some items as casual office wear, too! Anyway, just something to keep in mind.

I'm glad I read the reviews that said this top runs large, because I would have ordered my usual clothing size Extra-Large and been disappointed. I ordered a size Large in three colors and all fit great. (Truth be told, I also ordered size Medium because of the "It's SO BIG!" reviews. But I didn't even open the bags because I was happy with the Large.) Pros: The fabric has a nice drape to it -- no clinging to the spare tire. If you're apple shaped like me, I think you'll appreciate this top. Very flattering, feminine fit. The ruching on the shoulders is a really cute detail that sets this T-shirt apart from a plain tee. Cons: That price. The colors are kind of odd -- muted and plain, which is unexpected for summer. If the colors had really "wow'ed" me and the price was more wallet-friendly, I would have opened the Medium sizes and kept them for a future, svelter me.

I like that this shirt is a little loose, perfect for exercising. It's long on me, so doesn't flow around my hips as I would like. I have a short upper body though so it's not surprising. Fabric is nice, cool, but not see through. Nice shirt!

Very light weight but not see-through. Loose & flowing which is OK by me; comfortable & flattering; covers figure flaws. Does wrinkle slightly in wash, even with fabric softener. Long enough for my long torso, which many LLBean tops are not. Picked because I especially like the detailed gathers across the shoulders. Green is quite pale; OK but would prefer more saturated vibrant pastel.

I am so impressed with the shirt.....the material, the color, the style (flattering!), the length and more! You could wear this hiking or wear it with capri pants for a night out. I ordered a large because I am usually between a large or xlarge, so I sized down. I just re-ordered a Medium and will be comparing it with the Large to decide which one to keep. By the time I got off the phone to place my exchange order, I convinced the customer service rep to order one! She said it is a new item and many sizes/colors are now backordered through mid-April.....so, obviously it's a hit! Highly recommend, even though I am waiting to see which one will be my best fit.

I love the v neck and the cap sleeves. Very good for working out especially for older women who don't want tight fitting or semi-fitted tops. Only suggetion would be to have a bit more of a cap sleeve--not much. Hate those work out shirts whose arm holes come down to your waist.

I bought these in all 4 colors and I just love them. I would give them 4.5 stars instead of 5, because the material is so soft, it tends to catch on my other clothes and kind of get stuck, if that makes any sense. It does run a little big also, and the instructions machine dry on "no heat". I don't really run that kind of load , so I guess I will hang dry these. All in all, extremely cute, I like how they look on with slim jeans, capris and crops. Seem like they'll be really comfortable, too, but I can't really wear them yet because still winter here in Pennsylvania.

I loved the shirt, but i was very disappointed that it got a snag in it on the first wear.

Comfortable basic tee. The fit is at least a full size larger than expected. Although I purchased a petite size M, it feels more like a regular size L through the shoulders and chest.

I like the shirt but the color (blue-green). Looks nothing like the picture. It looks more like the picture of the Sea Pine.

This looked so perfect online and I thought it would look perfect on me. Unfortunately, it was too large and that skewed the whole fit. I'll try again with a smaller size.

I bought this and have yet to wear it. I have tried it on several times but is just too boxy and large. The material is nice.

This top was pretty, but way too large, so I returned it. Still waiting for a smaller size...

My review for this shirt is the same as for the one I ordered with it. Loved both shirts but they were huge. I ordered a medium which I have always ordered at LLBean and everywhere else. DK whether sizes are inching up or what's going on.

Way thinner material than I had hoped. Really disappointed.

Nice shirt. A little boxy. I like the color for fall

I purchased this shirt in light grey first, loved it. The green is okay too, but wrinkles.

Very flimsy, did not hold its color well after the first wash

nice shirt - but didn't like iron on decal and returned it.

Small people do not do well in L.L. Bean clothing. This XS shirt was also extra wide. I usually wear a 6 petite but ordered XS (which is a 4P) because Bean shirts run S as 6-8, which means size 8. The S, L, XL clothing covers a range which benefits the larger in the range (example S=6-8) but not the smaller of the range.

Too large for a petite large. Comfortable fabric and liked the color.

I use it as an exercise top for yoga & fitness class. Comfortable. Nice length.

Weird orchid color. This is not great but hope it grows on me.
